Banco BPM, Iccrea, FSI create Italy's second largest payments business
Oct 1 (Reuters) -Italy's Banco BPM BAMI.MI has finalised a partnership with Gruppo BCC Iccrea and domestic private equity fund FSI to create Numia, Italy's second largest player in the e-payments business, the three companies said in a joint press release on Tuesday.
The partnership, which was announced in July and will have a domestic market share of more than 10%, has now obtained the legal and regulatory approvals needed for the closing, the statement said.
Banco BPM, Italy's third largest bank, and Iccrea will each have a 28.6% stake in Numia group - which controls Numia - while FSI will hold around 43%.
"The partnership is an additional and essential channel for us to develop and diversify our revenue sources," Banco BPM CEO Giuseppe Castagna said.
In return for its asset contribution to the project, Banco BPM will receive 500 million euros ($556 million) with an upfront cash component of more than 200 million, plus potential additional deferred price components of up to 80 million.
The bank will get a positive impact of around 88 basis point on its fully loaded CET1 ratio due to the upfront capital gain. The 28.6% stake Banco BPM will own will reduce its CET1 ratio by 49 basis point, the press release added.
FSI, founded by former Merrill Lynch banker Maurizio Tamagnini, and unlisted bank Iccrea jointly run the BCC Pay payments business, whose name was changed into Numia on May 1.
Italy's Nexi NEXII.MI is Europe's biggest payments group by transactions processed.
